NEILLsvILLE, Wis, Aug. 9.-Heavy
rains this afternoon have checked the
forest fires which have been raging in
the towns of Lewis, Wasburn, Lynn
and Hewitt, consuming logging camps,
fences, etc. The report comes th at one
of Nicholas & Pooley's camps, situated
on the East Fork, was burned, including
several head of cattle, logging sleighs
and stables, also one of Charley Squire's
camps with all his sleds and a general
outfit. Two hundred and twenty-five
cords of wood in the town of Grant,
owned by Gus Hazely, is in ashes. Sew
eral farmers of the town of Lewis re-
port the loss of considerable hay and
grain in stacks. The amount of dam
aga done SO far cannot be estimated.
AT OTHER WISCONSIN POINTS.
FOND DU LAC, Wis, Aug. "a rag
ing fire prevails on EldOradO marsh. The
farmers have turned out en- maSse to
fight the flames, which are reported to
be spreading rapidly. The marsh is
dotted with haystackS, quite number
of which have already burned. Should
the fire spread beyond control, great
damage will result. A Palmyra, Wis,

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
Its Details Will Be Arranged in a
Fortnight.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Invitati0ns
continue pouring in upon the president,
and almost the entire time of one of the
clerks at the White house is oc-
cupid in scheduling and recording
them. He has been invited to visit
almost every city in the West and
South, including San Francisco, New
Orleans and Galveston. 1t would
be almost impossible for the pres
ident to accept all of them, even if he
devoted the rest of the year to visiting,
so it can be seen that some places must
from Providence, X. l., asking the pres
ident to visit that city on his rumOred
trip to Marion, Mass, where Mrs. CleVe-
land is visiting. This was the only one
of the invitations answered to-day. Col,
Lamont sent a short reply, to the effect
that the president had no intention Of
visiting Massachusetts just at pres
ent. The president is seriously
considering the best use he can
make of the limited time he has allotted
himself for his Western and Southern
trip, and he will take the route which
will enable him to visit briefly the prin-
cipal representative cities of the two
sections of country. He has about made
up his mind that he will not go further
west than Kansas City, and very little,
if any, farther south than Atlanta. He
does not desire to be absent from the
capitol more than twenty days, but de-
lay and unavoidable circumstances may
prolong his absence five or ten days
more. He will begin the preparation Of
his annual message to congress upon
his return to Washington, and that and
other important matters which will
claim his personal attention will pre-
vent his extending his visit much be-
yond the 1st of November. 1t is ex-
pected that the programme for his trip
will be prepared within the next two
weeks. None Of the invitations already
acted on will be answered until that is

VIENNA, Aug. 9.-M. Natehevitch,

Verein, where he will embark for
Widdin. At the latter place he will de-
velOp his programme and explain his
reasons for acting in opposition to
Russia.
Upon the arrival of Prince Ferdinand
at Widdin. the proclamation of his
rulership, which is already printed and
ready for distribution at Sofia, will be
circulated broadcast The circular
gives in plain language the reasons ac-
tuating the government of Bulgaria in
defying the wishes of Russia and the
presumption is that the regents have
been secretly assured of the aid of four
powers in event of Russian interference
with their plans. After the oath has
been administered to Prince Ferdinand
at TirnOva he will make his triumphal
entry to Sofia, and the whole Bulgarian
question with variety of new phases,
will be once more open to Europe. Rus

are laid and her policy is well defined
and thoroughly understood by those who
are to carry it out. Bulgaria is
FILLED WITH RUSSIAN AGENTS
and intriguers and every movement of
the slightest significance that takes
place in the principality is promptly
and in detail reported to the cZar's gov
ernment. Probably the first hostile
movement against Prince Ferdinand
will come in the shape of a protest from
the sultan against the Coberg princes
assumption to the throne without the
sanction of the sultan and the refusal of
that sovereign to grant such sanction.
Should Ferdinand continue to exercise
the functions of prince of Bulgaria after
receiving ths Turkish note, it would be
incumbent on Turkey to send an army to
Sofia to expel him. Such action would
arouse Austria to hostility and then
comes the czar's opportunity. Russia
is in a position to fill Bulgaria with
troops before an opposing army can ar
rive at the borders of that country, and
this she without doubt will do upon the
slightest pretext. All unprejudiced
opinions agree that Prince Ferdinand is
much more likely to be Russian pris-
oner than prince of Bulgaria within a
month.

A Labor Riot.

WILKEsBAREE, Pa, Aug. 9.-Fifty
striking miners of the Alden Coal COM
pany, near this city, attacked thirty men
who had taken their places in the Alden
mines. Many women also took part in
the fight. Michael Christ and Joseph
Horton, two ''scabs," were fatally in
jured. Their assailants, Andrew Spi-
low, Andrew Newark and John Renow-
ski, were arrested this morning and
committed to jail. The fight lasted for
half an hour. The women assaulted
the scabs with fence rails, and their
husbands used stones and pistols. The
women carried a big banner inscribed,
down with the scabs, who took the
bread out of our mouths" About fif-
teen persons were wounded on both
sides, but only the two mentioned will
die from their injuries.

Blaine in Ireland.

DUBLIN, Aug. 9.-James G. Blaine,
wife and daughters arrived here last
evening from Belfast. Mr.. Blaine en-
barked at Glasgow for Belfast, ,and came
direct by rail to this city. In an inter-
view Mr.. Blaine stated that he intended
to remain in Ireland for some time, and
condition of the country.
1t is suspected that Mr.. Blaine's
chief purpose in making trip to Ire
land is to make series of speeches in
that country, with the ulterior object,
some people are bold enough to say, of
influencing Irishmen on the American
side of the ocean rather than on this.
Whether this be true or not, it is likely
that he will not leave Ireland without
making at least one speech which, of
course, everybody will read.

cagO Excursionists.
CHICAGO, Aug. GA large number
of moonlight excursionists had a narrow
escape from drowning last night. The
steamer Ivanhoe and the schooner
Scotia collided in the river just as the
excursion boat was leaving on its eyen-
ing trip. The Ivanhoe had lefts itS
mOorings 1.-THE Clark street bridge and
stea med up the river near the Wells
street bridge in order to have room to
head about. The decks were filled with,
passengers who were bent on an even-
ing's enjoyment. The Wells street
bridge opened as the IvanhOe neared it
to let the Scotia through on its way down
the river. The signals of the tug and
the steamer were misunderstood, and
the two boats came together, the jib-
boom of the Scotia being carried away.
Some slight damage was inflicted on the
Ivanhoe. CONSERVATION prevailed
among the passengers when they saw
the schooner bearing down on them.
1t was narrow escape for those ON
board the Ivanhoe, and tended to throw
a damper over the full enjoyment of the
moonlight excursion. The boats pro-
ceeded down the river after some little
delay.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Telegrams rea
ceived this morning from central points
throughout the entire $1,000 square
miles of drOuth-stricken northwest
country show the fearful sun-scOrching
of all vegetation continues unmitigated.
Not drop of rain has fallen except
eight-one-hundredth of an inch at DeS
MOineS, bare sprinkle on the deep
dust. Local observations in the various
districts give but little hope of break
within the coming twenty-four hours.
A strife cooler weather and scat
tered light showers are expected in Scme
places, but the conditions are such that
if the possible little moisture and cool
ness are at all delayed their effect will
be totally lost in a seemingly imminent
further general rise in temperature from
end to end of the drought region.
THE EFFECTS OF THE DROUGHT
in Chicago were noticeable in many
small lines to-day, but they convey nd
idea of the condition of things in ths
country Immediately surrounding the
city. Never before have the farmers
and residents of the suburbs suffered SO
from the heat and dry weather. All
around the vegetables of the small
drUe1eTS nave Dcon kllleU. All along
the railroad tracks the prairies are on
fire, and residents of the suburbs are
called out at all hours of the day
and night to extinguish the
flames when they threaten the
barns and houses. At Western Springs
valuable grove of young trees has
been completely destroyed and the
neighbOring dwellings were only saved
by the greatest efforts on the part Of
the villagers. Along the Rock Island
road things are even worse. Fences ALI
along the line of the road are OH fire and
the air is constantly filled with the
smoke of the burning prairie grass. At
South Englewood every one was called
out of church Sunday to fight the fire,
and since, when the male residents
were in the city, the ladies of the VIII
lage had to turn out and extinguish the
flames. Cisterns and wells are alike
empty, and the greatest economy of the
precious fluid is observed. Cattle are
actually suffering for want of water

Her husband was shot through the
head. The murder is thought to have
been committed Sunday morning. but
the fact was not discovered until Mon

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 9.-Forest fires
are raging throughout the state. st.
Ignance was for while in great dam
ger, but change in the wind has saved
the town for the time being at least.
Advices from ChebOygon say that fires
are again raging in that section, and
are destroying much valuable pine and
standing timber in this county and
burning fences and barns. Farmers
are fighting the fires to save
their homes and stock. A
heavy smoke hangs over the village.
Intelligence from Grand Haven is to the
effect that heavy forest fires have been
raging throughout that section for the
past two weeks, doing considerable dam
age. The fire department was called
out to fight the fire in an adjoining for
est south of the city, back Of Lake Forest
cemetery. About 1,400 acres burned iIi
that vicinity, and the fire encroached
upon the cemetery, where it burned the
grass off from about 300 lots, bleaching
tOmbstOnes, etc. The fire is now under
control south of here, but it is raging
fiercely to the southeast of the city.
From Grand Rapids the news comes
that fires are raging fearfully in the
north part of Kent county. At Sand
lake the fire got into the pine SlaShing,
and for some time came near devOuring
the village. Farm houses and buildings
adjacent to the fire were barely saved

does not come soon there will be
heavy losses. Crops are suffering terri
bly,. Fire broke out in the pineries near
Grandville yesterday afternoon, and
up. Fires are also burning in the
marshes near the city, and the smoke is
thick all about. The Coleman Charcoal
company's kilns, with 800 cords of wood
belonging to Knapp & Darlington, were
totally destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon ON account of the forest fires. Loss
unknown at present. Other property is
in great danger.
Later advices say that at Cedar

man who can be had is working hero
ically. Sand Lake, which was in danger
of burning yesterday, is out of danger
tonight, although help is kept ready.
Reports from the south on the Lake

woods badly, and at Grandville is still
burning in the low lands. From the
north discouraging reports are received
tonight. at Crofton, four miles south
